Sour, aromatic herbal, heavy sweet
This is a sour, aromatic, herbal perfume. The sourness is of the fresh type, but the rest of the scent is heavy-sweetish in a way typical for Arabian perfumes. These two parts pull in the opposite directions.
The citrus is the typical cool, even icy, bright summer variety. In the herbal part, one component stands out, which I guess must be artemisia. It's pungent, blunt, in your face, somewhat bitter and almost dry/powdery. In short, it's somewhat imposing. I feel they could tone it down a little bit.
As I mentioned before, the scent is quite heavy and full. The fresh-full combo reminds me of Lattafa Hayaati Al Maleky. Safeer is less weird, more standard, in comparison. It's also decidedly sweeter. The sweetness smells artificial and lends a cloying quality to the fragrance.
Overall, an original scent, however not one I could imagine myself wearing often. It's too sour for winter, too heavy for summer.
The bottle fits the scent.
